Whenever an ISA adapter is installed, this service aid must be run and the adapter
configured before the adapter can be tested. You must also run this service aid to
remove an ISA adapter from the system whenever an ISA adapter is physically
removed from the system.
If diagnostics are run on an ISA adapter that has been removed from the system, the
diagnostics fail because the system cannot detect the ISA adapter.
Configure Reboot Policy
Note: This service aid runs on CHRP system units only.
This service aid controls how the system tries to recover from a system crash.
Use this service aid to display and change the following settings for the Reboot Policy.
Note: Because of system capability, some of the following settings might not be
displayed by this service aid.
vMaximum Number of Reboot Attempts
Enter a number that is 0 or greater.
Note: A value of 0 indicates ’do not attempt to reboot’ to a crashed system.
This number is the maximum number of consecutive attempts to reboot the system.
The term

reboot

, in the context of this service aid, is used to describe bringing
system hardware back up from scratch; for example, from a system reset or
power-on.
When the reboot process completes successfully, the reboot attempts count is reset
to 0, and a restart begins. The term

restart

, in the context of this service aid, is used
to describe the operating system activation process. Restart always follows a
successful reboot.
When a restart fails, and a restart policy is enabled, the system attempts to reboot
for the maximum number of attempts.
vUse the O/S Defined Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
When ’Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy’ is set to Yes, the system attempts to
reboot from a crash if the operating system has an enabled Defined Restart or
Reboot Policy.
When ’Use the O/S Defined Restart Policy’ is set to No, or the operating system
restart policy is undefined, then the restart policy is determined by the ’Supplemental
Restart Policy’.
vEnable Supplemental Restart Policy (1=Yes, 0=No)
The ’Supplemental Restart Policy’, if enabled, is used when the O/S Defined Restart
Policy is undefined, or is set to False.
